Question

Evaluate. X = -(-2)^(-2)2 -4(1)(-8) 2(1)

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = \frac{129}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x = ( - 2 {)}^{ - 2} \times 2 - 4 \times 1 \times ( - 8) \times 2 \times 1$

$x = ( - 2 {)}^{ - 2} \times 2 + 4 \times 1 \times 8 \times2 \times 1$

$x + 2( ( - 2 {)}^{ - 2} + 4 \times 8)$

$x = 2( {2}^{ - 2} + 32)$

$x = 2( \frac{1}{ {2}^{2} } + 32)$

$x = 2( \frac{1}{4} + 32)$

$x = 2 \times \frac{129}{4}$

$x = \frac{129}{2}$
